I've recently bought a '05 Clio 182 and it's a little lumpy. I expected the idle to be a bit rough, as the cars are known for it, but today I've had the engine management light flash at me a couple of times and the car appears to be struggling for power.

I'm thinking that the lambda sensor might be at fault here? With changing this, would it be worth changing both sensors in the exhaust?

Same issues, albeit I've not tried any resolution yet. I'm getting mine into the garage tomorrow so I'll let you know the outcome.

Thanks Alex, that's what I'm not expecting considering that I ran the built-in diagnostics and it's flagging the injectors as being at fault. Obviously this isn't telling me which.

Due to the car being a recent purchase, I'm putting it into a garage to get them give it a once over. Annoyingly it looks a relatively simply fix now I've done my research into it though!

Annoyingly, it's been into the garage and they've diagnosed it as piss-poor spark plugs being put in. Why is this annoying? The correct plugs are due for delivery today and to be fitted this weekend!

They seemed to give it a good look over, though, so hopefully no more grief.
